I am a Meerkat Manor fan so decided to check this one out. While it is entertaining, it's not as interesting as Manor and then I figured out why - the meerkats so far, aren't identified by names - just position (e.g. Alpha Male/Female, Single Female).
This is big mistake. The names allow you to identify them individually and feel more connected to their struggles. So far I don't feel anything one way or another about them individually or as a pact. No chance for a tearful moment like when Flower from Manor died since I don't feel connected.
I've only seen 1 episode so hopefully it'll get better. Otherwise it's just another animal documentary (and I love the genre) but without emotional attachment.
